Article Synopsis
- The study investigates health-seeking behavior (HSB) in pediatric patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) compared to those with other chronic conditions in Southwest Nigeria, highlighting the need for better management strategies.
- Results showed that SCD patients were more likely to seek treatment from private facilities and informal care providers, with a significant percentage exhibiting poor HSB, particularly among those without health insurance coverage.
- The findings emphasize the importance of educating SCD patients about appropriate care options, promoting health insurance enrollment, and addressing issues related to the high use of non-hospital care facilities.
